The problem is not with the nav element but with the ul element. The problem is that you have not closed it with an end tag (</ul>).

If you add a closing tag for the ul right above the nav closing tag then that should fix the error.

I realised that and added missing </ul> tag.

I removed inverted commas and it worked.

       <li><a href=index.html>Portfolio</a></li>


      <li><a href=about.html>About</a></li>


      <li><a href=contact.html>Contact</a></li>
